And
behold
,
a
woman
of
Canaan
,
came
out
of
the
same
Coasts
,
and
cryed
vnto
him
,
saying
,
Haue
mercy
on
mee
,
ô
Lord
thou
Sonne
of
Dauid
,
my
daughter
is
miserably
vexed
with
a
deuill
.
23
But
he
answered
her
not
a
word
.
And
his
Disciples
came
and
besought
him
,
saying
,
send
her
away
,
for
she
cryeth
after
vs
.
24
But
he
answered
,
and
said
,
I
am
not
sent
,
but
vnto
the
lost
sheep
of
the
house
of
Israel
.
25
Yet
shee
came
and
worshipped
him
,
saying
,
Lord
helpe
mee
.
26
But
hee
answered
and
said
;
It
is
not
meet
to
take
the
childrens
bread
,
and
to
cast
it
to
Dogges
.
27
And
she
said
,
Truth
Lord
,
yet
the
Dogges
eat
of
the
crummes
that
fall
from
their
maisters
table
.
28
Then
Iesus
answered
,
and
said
vnto
her
,
O
woman
!
great
is
thy
Faith
:
bee
it
vnto
thee
euen
as
thou
wilt
.
NOw
was
the
time
that
the
day
began
to
dawne
,
when
the
beames
of
Christs
grace

to
bee
shed
vpon
the
Gentiles
.
The
Scribes
and
Pharises
(
the
Diuines
of
Iury
)
through
Enuy
and
Maliciousnesse
,
discerne
not
the
worth
of
the
Messiah
.
They
hold

but
Glasse

or

or
but

when

So
Luther
cals

Galatians
.
Diamond
.
For
as
the
Diamond
is
the
chiefe
of
Gemmes
:
so
Iesus
Christ
is
the
chiefe
of
Men.
As
the
colour
of
the
Diamond
is
properly
of
no
colour
;
so
the
comming
of
Christ
was
without
any
shew
.
As
there
is
nothing
more
white
then
the
light
of
the
Diamond
,
nothing
more
blacke
then
his
shadow
;
so
nothing
more
glorious
then
Christ
in
his
Transfiguration
,
nothing
more
sad
then
Hee
in
his
Passion
.
Yet
as
a
Diamond
set
on
blacke
tent
,
or
pitch
,
changeth
not
his
hue
,
as
any
other
stone
would
doe
;
so
Christ
on
the
Crosse
,
in
Death
,
in
the
Graue
,
is
still
the
same
without
variation
.
And
as
the
Diamond
yeeldeth
not
to
the
Hammer
,
nor
to
the
File
,
nor
to
the
Fire
,
nor
scarse
to
Time
it selfe
;
so
Christ
is
inuincible
,
lasting
,
Euerlasting
.
Then
Cleopatraes
Pearle
is
worth
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
Crownes
,
howsoeuer
the
Hog
trample
it
vnder
foot
;
and
Christ
is
here
highly
prized
by
an
Aliant
,
although
the
Iewes
make
no
reckoning
of
Him
.
The
Historie
consists
of
three
parts
:
a
Protasis
,
an
Epitasis
,
a
Catastrophe
.
The
Protasis
,
or
Ground
worke
,
is
in
the
22
verse
,
and
contain●s
,
A
Note
of
Attention
,
a
Description
of
a
Petitioner
,
a
Description
of
the
Party
sued
to
,
and
the
Summe
of
the
Supplication
.
The
Epitasis
,
or
Busie
part
,
comprehends
the
diuers
Repulses
,
or
Discouragements
of
the
said
Suppliant
;
where
are
also
inter-wouen
many
rare
,
and
incomparable
vertues
,
to
the
28
verse
.
The
Catastrophe
,
or
Close
,
containes
as
well
An
high
Commendation
of
the
Petitioner
,
as
A
cheerefull
Grant
of

the
last

The

whom
we
are
to

,
is
described
by
her

,
by
her
Country
,
by
her
Faith
,
and
by

By
her
Sex

Behold
a
woman
:
not
for
the

of

which
perhaps

Can

Yes

the

came
out

and
one
of

O

where

I
pray
you

for
certaine

As

seuen
thousand
to

when
Eliah
complain'd
he
was
left

Who
would
haue
thought
there
had
been
Christians
among
the
Canaanites
?
Yet
you
see
here
is
one
,
and
why
might
there
not
be
more
?
I
will
vrge
them
yet
further
.
Haue
we
none
at
this
day
,
of
our
religion
thinke
they
,
in
Italy
?
Nay
,
what
if
there
be
some
of
them
in
Rome
?
What
if
in
the
Popes
Palace
?
But
we
are
not
so
hard
set
,
but
that
wee
can
name
Hundreds
for
a
need
,
that
held
with
vs
in
the
darkest
times
;
as
All
the
Churches
of
Greece
,
who
renounced
Rome
for
her
abhominable
Idolatry
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1230.
Also
,
the
Waldenses
,
who
were
dispersed
ouer
all
this
part
of
the
World
.
And
further
,
those
that
followed
Iohn
Wickliffe
,
whose
number
must
neds
bee
great
,
for
that
he
was
supported
by
Edward
the
Third
,
and
diuerse
of
the
Nobilitie
.
To
these
be
added
the
Churches
of
Bohemia
,
who
with
great
vehemencie
resisted
the
Papacie
.
This
poynt
hath
beene
manfully
defended
by
many
of
the
Lords
Champions
,
who
haue
tempested
aloft
furiously
with
their
Ordnance
,
and
sent
smouldring
Bullets
,
to
whistle
the
newes
of
Death
in
the
eares
of
the
Enemie
:
for
me
,
it
is
sufficient
,
if
with
this
little
Birding-peece
,
charg'd
but
with
a
thimble-full
of
Shot
,
I
haue
taken
an
eye
,
or
spread
a
few
Pock-holes
in
his
face
.
Now
for
the
Faith
of
this
good
Woman
,
it
appeares
by
her
comming
to
Christ
.
Christ
would
haue
beene
hid
,
saith
S.
Marke
,
He
could
not
:
Gods
Spirit
.
This
Faith
is
that
,
which
in
all
the
body
of
this
Text
,
is
most
comfortably
diffuf'd
,
as
the
Bloud
in
the
Veines
,
that
I
shall
bee
still
occasion'd
to
commend
it
.
And
let
no
man
thinke
much
:
for
of
Faith
it
may
be
truely
said
,
which
the
Philosopher
writes
of
Vniuersall
Iustice
,
〈◊〉

,
Nor
is
the
Euening
,
nor
the
Morning

so
admirable
as
it
.
In
the
meane
time
thus
much
:
It
is
the
nature
of
Faith
in
distresse
to
go
to
Christ
:
not
with
Saul
,
Ekron
.
Maister
,
to
whom
shall
wee
goe
(
saith
Peter
?
)
Thou
hast
the
words
of
eternall
life

Bernard

quia
veritas
est
;
per
Christum
,
quia
via

;
ad
Christum
,
quia
vita
est
:
Let
vs
go
after
Christ
,
because
He
is
the
Truth
;
by
Christ
,
because
He
is
the
Way
;
to
Christ
,
because
He
is
the
Life
.
What
good
thing
can
our
soules
desire
,
but
is
to
be
found
in
Iesus
Christ
?
Would
wee
haue
Saluation
?
It
's
in
his
very
Name
.
The
Gifts
of
the
Spirit
?
They
are
in
his
Vnction
.
Puritie
?
It
's
in
his
Conception
.
Indulgence
?
It
's
in
his
Natiuitie
.
Redemption
?
It
's
in
his
Passion
.
Absolution
?
It
's
in
his
Condemnation
.
Freedome
from
the
Curse
?
It
's
in
his
Crosse
.
Satisfaction
?
It
's
in
his
Sacrifice
.
Purgation
?
It
's
in
his
Bloud
.
Mortification
?
It
's
in
his
Buriall
.
Viuification
?
It
's
in
his
Resurrection
.
Heauen
?
It
's
in
his
Ascension
.
Then
harsh
bee
the
voyce
that
soundeth
not
of
Christ
;
bitter
be
the
sweets
that
relish
not
of
Christ
;
yea
dismall
be
the
day
,
and
desolate
bee
the
night
wherein
our
hearts
are
estranged
from
CHRIST
.
For
this
Womans
Zeale
,
it
is
here
:
She
cried
.
Impudentis
est
clamoribus
strepere
,
saith
Cyprian
:
Cypr.
de

D●m
.
It
's
a
token
of
Impudencie
,
to
be
clamorous
in
prayer
.
True
:
but
Necessity
is
the
mother
of
Dispensation
.
Besides

Prophet
Dauid
would
sometimes
roare
in
his
prayer
:
The
Description
of
the
Partie
sued
to
,
is
in
this
clause
,
O
Lord
,
thou
Sonne
of
Dauid
:
which
very
words
are
vsed
by
the
two
Blinde
men
in
the
20
of
this
Gospell
.
This
Title
Lord
,
is
(
as
Bernard
cals
it
)
Nomen
Maiestativum
,
a
Name
of
Maiesty
,
and
is
giuen
to
the
Sonne
of
GOD
by
an
Excellency
,
in
the
New
Testament
:
because
He
is
our
Lord
,
by
the
Right
of
Inheritance
,
by
the
Right
of
Redemption
,
and
by
the
Right
of
Marriage
;
and
therefore
is
the
Head
of
the
Church
,
in
regard
of
Order
,
as
being
the
First-born
among
his
Brethren
;
In
regard
of
Perfection
,
both
for
his
sublimitie
&
fulnes
of
Grace
;
and
in
regard
of
Vertue
,
for
that
a
certaine
influence
is
deriued
from
him
to
all
the
members
of
his
Church
.
And
Hee
is
called
Lord
,
not
Denominatiuely
,
but
Essentially
:
to
the
right
conceiuing
whereof
,
is
required
a
stedfast
beleefe
of
his
God-head
,
against
those
execrable
Heretickes
,
Ebion
,
Cerinthu●
,
Berillus
,
Samosatenus
,
Marcianus
,
Photinus
,
Arius
,
Seruet
,
Francis
Dauid
,
&
the
Anti-trinitarians
of
this
time
.
And
here
obserue
,
how
honourably
this
woman
thinkes
of
Christ
.
Shee
cals
him
Lord
,
the
Iewes
Beelzebub
:
Aug.
Cons
.
Etiam
sic
Domine
,
etiam
sic
;
Euen
so
ô
Lord
,
because
it
is
thy
will
;
whose
dealings
are
often
secret
,
alwaies
iust
.
Now
where
shee
salutes
Him
,
by
the
name
of
the
Sonne
of
Dauid
,
it
is
euident
that
shee
takes
him
to
bee
the
promised
Messiah
.
For
all
Iurie
rang
of
this
,
The
Christ
should
come
of
the
linage
of
Dauid
.
Which
shee
hearing
at
an
outside
,
assisted
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
weighing
all
circumstances
aright
,
concludes
that
This
is
He.
Which
declares
her
faith
to
bee
holy
and
aduised
,
well
grounded
vpon
the
promises
of
God
,
and
not
a
fleeting
,
and
vapourous
imagination
.
This
is
that
which
is
written
in
the
very
beginning
of
the
Gospell
:
The
Booke
(
that
is
,
the
Catalogue
,
or
Register
)
IESVS
CHRIST
the
Sonne
of
DAVID
:
As
if
Saint
Mathew
,
like
Iohn
Baptist
,
should
point
with
his
finger
to
the
Messiah
,
and
cry
,
Behold
,
this
Man
so
poore
,
and
so
contemptible
in
shew
,
is
lineally
descended
from
the
Kings
of
Iudah
,
and
is
the
onely
Redeemer
of
Israel
.
A
wonderfull
Mysterie
,
that
GOD
should
be
manifested
in
the
flesh
;
Christ
was
made
of
the
seed
of
Dauid
:
Not
that
the
Virgin
Mary
conceiued
Him
through
the
pleasure
of
carnall
desire
,
but
through
faith
,
remaining
still
in
her
chastenesse
and
integrity
;
euen
as
the
Church
(
in
a
kind
of
Imitation
)
brings
forth
children
to
GOD
,
and
is
yet
a
Virgin
,
August
.
Enchirid
.
as
Austin
excellently
noteth
.
Then
here
is
a
Towell
thrust
into
the
throates
of
Valentine
,
Marcion
,
Manichaeus
,
Apollinaris
,
and
other
pestilent
Heretickes
,
who
stand
vp
against
the
truth
of
Christs
Humanity
:
And
more
,
there
is
ministred
a
sweet
Repose
for
a
troubled
conscience
.
For
what
keepes
me
from
dispaire
,
when
Satan
claps
hold
on
mee
,
with
his
bloudy
sleeue
,
and
his
great
Butchers
knife
a-crosse
his
mouth
,
but
this
,
that
my
Sauiour
is
the
Sonne
of
Dauid
,
High
Priest
,
who
hath
giuen
himselfe
for
my
sinnes
.
Hee
hath
Giuen
,
Satan
,
vnderstand'st
thou
that
?
not
receiued
,
not
exacted
.
Hee

as
well
as
for

For
though
they
were
a
thousand
times
more
Sanctified
then
I
;
yet
were
they
neuer
a
whit
more
Iustified
then
I
:
And
the
goodnesse
they
had
,
came
not
from
themselues
,
but
from
GOD
,
who
hath
put
into
my
heart
a
great
desire
,
not
of
Heauen

(
for
so
had

the
Lord
hath
promised
to
those
that
loue
his
appearing

The
Summe
of
her
Petition
is
set
downe
two
waies
;
Indefinitely
and
Determinately
.
Indefinitely
in
these
words
,
Haue
mercy
on
me
:
Where
shee
sues
in
forma
Pauperis
,
and
pleades
for
Mercy
,
not
Merit
,
though
she
was
one
of
the
godliest
women
in
all
the
world
.
Yet
you
know
(

who
stand
vpon
the
Merit
of
Condignity

that
they

giuen
them
perfectly
to

the

.
Nay
the
Rhemists
go
further
,
and
will
stand
to
it
,
that
they
are
able
to
doe
more
then
the
Ten
Commandements
require
.
They
talke

if
these

Sycophants

To

(

who
is

as

Well
,
for
vs

Publicanes
,
wee
will
not
trust
to
our
deserts
(
which
will
shelter
vs
no
more
then
an

)
but
to
GODS
tender
compassion
.
What
though
my
sinnes
bee
as
red
as
bloud
,
as
blacke
as
Haire-cloth
,
as
Pitch
,
as
Hell
;
Yet
are
they
not
Infinit
,
as
is
GODS
Mercie
.
Onely
I
must
Repent
,
that
is
,
confesse
,
and
forsake
my
sinnes
,
and
turne
with
my
whole
heart
,
not
faynedly
,
to
the
Lord
.
For
our
Sauiour
chargeth
his
Disciples
,
to
Preach
Repentance
,
and
Remission
of
sinnes
:
Forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
.
I
know
the
Gospell
is
a
Booke
of
Mercie
:
I
know
that
in
the
Prophets
there
are
many
aspersions
of
Mercy
:
I
know
that
Out
of
the
Eater
comes
Meat
,
and
out
of
the
Strong
comes
Sweetnesse
,
Ten
Commandements
(
which
bee
the
Ministration
of
Death
)
I
will
haue
mercy
vpon
Thousands
;
Yea
,
the
very
first
words
of
them
are
the
Couenant
of
Grace
,
I
am
the
Lord
THY
God
:
Yet
if
euery
Leafe
,
and
euery
Line
,
and
euery
Word
in
the
Bible
,
were
nothing
but
Mercy
,
Mercy
,
it
nothing
auailes
the
Presumptuous
sinner
,
that
lies
rotting
in
his
iniquities
.
Our
GOD
is
not
an
impotent
GOD
,
with
one
Arme
,
but
as
Hee
is
slow
to
anger
,
so
is
Hee
great
in
Powre
,
Mercifull
,
Gracious
,
slow
to
anger
,
aboundant
in
goodnesse
,
and
truth
,
reseruing
mercy
for
thousands
,
forgiuing
iniquity
,
and
transgression
,
and
sinne
:
Is
not
here
Mercy
mentioned
,
nine
,
or
ten
times
together
?
It
is
:
But
reade
on
to
the
very
next
words
;
And
not
making
the
wicked
innocent
,
visiting
the
iniquity
of
the
Fathers
vpon
the
children
,
and
vpon
childrens
children
,
vnto
the
third
and
fourth
generation
.
Is
not
this
the
terrible
voyce
of
Iustice
?
But
stay
:
in
the
hundred
thirty
and
six
Psalme
,
His
mercy
endureth
for
euer
,
His
mercy
endureth
for
euer
:
His
mercy
endureth
for
euer
,
is
the
foote
of
the
Song
,
and
is
found
six
and
twenty
times
,
in
six
and
twenty
verses
.
It
is
:
Yet
harko
what
a
ratling
thunder-clap
is
heere
.
And
ouerthrew
Pharoah
,
and
his
Host
in
the
Red
Sea
;
and
smete
great
Kings
,
and
slew
mighty
Kings
,
Sihon
King
of
the
Amorites
,
and
Og
,
the
King
of
Bashan
.
Therefore
(
Beloued
)
if
wee
will
haue
mercy
at
the
Tribunall
Seate
of
GOD
,
let
vs
humble
our selues
for
our
manifold
and
bloudie
sinnes
.
Cyprian
:
And
let
no
man
hold
off
,
for
that
his
offences
are
heynous
,
and
that
hee
is
old
,
and
mosse-growne
in
them
:
onely
let
him
beware
of
Hypocrisie
,
and
Delay
,
which
will
cheat
the
soule
,
and
bring
it
to

That
Part
of
the
Petition
which
is
put
downe
Determinatly
,
is
in
these
words
,
My
Daughter
is
miserably
vexed
with
a
Deuill
.
Where
shee
instantly
beseeches
Christ
,
euen
in
the
bowels
of
compassion
to
behold
her
Child
,
her
little
Child
,
as
Saint
Marke
hath
it
,
Haue
mercy
on
ME
,
my
Daughter
.
Acknowledging
withall
,
that
GOD
in
chastening
the
fruit
of
her
wombe
,
had
laid
his
scourge
vpon
her
also
.
Againe
take
notice
,
how
it
is
the
nature
of
loue
to
Descend
,
and
how
the
affection
of
Parents
to
their
Children
,
is
farre
more
deere
then
that
of
Children
to
their
Parents
.
We
reade
heere
in
this
,
and
in
sundry
other
places
of
the
Gospell
,
how
carefully
Parents
made
meanes
to
Christ
,
for
the
chasing
away
of
Deuils
,
and
diseases
,
from
their
Children
;
but
where
reade
yee
that
the
Children
did
the
like
for
their
Parents
?
In
the
eighth
of
this
Gospell
,
go
bury
his
Father
,
that
he
may
throw
Moulds
on
him
,
and
make
him
sure
:
but
he
neuer
once
prayed
him
to
he●le
him
when
hee
was
sick
,
or
raise
him
when
he
was
dead
.
Marke
further
,
how
sore
,
and
strange
afflictions
befall
sometimes
GODS
dearest
children
.
Woe
,
and
alas
,
here
's
a
furious
Deuill
,
that
possesseth
the
body
of
this
womans
Daughter
.
If
he
had
onely
haunted
the
house
,
or
outwardly
wrought
vpon
her
child
,
the
chastisement
had
beene
grieuous
,
but
to
enter
into
her
with
his
very
substance
,
is
most
lamentable
to
thinke
on
.
And
yet
the
Lord
thus
correcteth
her
in
Loue
,
I
will
NOT
visite
your
Daughters
when
they
are
Harlots
,
nor
your
Spouses
when
they
are
Whores
.
Certè

Misericordiam

For

owne
part

saith

)
I

none
of

Etiam
peccata
Domine
:
Euen
our
sins
also
,
ô
Lord
,
saith
Austen
.
Audeo
dicere
(
saith
the
same
Father
)
superbis
esse
v●ile
,
cadere
in
aliquod
apertum
,
manifestumque
peccatum
.
I
dare
bee
bold
to
speake
it
,
that
it
is
good
that
proud
men
do
fall
into
some
grosse
and
open
sinne
,
that
so
Shame
may
driue
them
to
remorse
.
This
Doctrine
is
true
;
But
let
no
Spider
suck
poyson
thence
.
One
wold
haue
thought
that
this
woman
,
who
was
not
long
before
conuerted
to
Christ
,
wold
haue
laid
the
blame
on
her
Religion
,
and
thought
hardly
of
GOD
,
thus
to
single
her
out
for
a
spectacle
of
misery
,
and
scarse
to
shake
his
rod
at
her
fellow
Gentiles
;
but
see
how
this
correction
brings
her
neerer
to
GOD
,
and
how
the
Deuill
himselfe
,
is
a
meanes
to
further
her
saluation
.
Lastly
,
it
is
obserueable
,
that
Sinne
is
the
most
fearefull
thing
in
the
world
.
The
body
of
Man
was
made
to
be
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
but
sinne
makes
it
a
Stie
,
and
Plauncher
for
Satan
,
who
teares
it
,
wallowes
it
,
and
torments
it
piteously
,
as
here
,
Our
Father
Adam
eates
the
forbidden
fruit
;
we
would
thinke
it
but
one
sinne
;
but
what
sayes
Austine

that
reignes

in

Children
of

which
yet
they
play

with

take

thou
stingest

like

like

O

;
thou
hast

in

mouth
,
but
a
bitter
branch
sticking
at
thy
heart
;
I
would
name

,
but
that
thou
hast
nothing
to
doe
with
Hearbe
of

.
And
this
of
the
PROTASIS
.
The
EPITASIS
followes
,
wherein
we
are
to
weigh
the
sundry
Repulses
,
and
Discouragements
to
weigh
the
sundry
Repulses
,
and
Discouragements
of
this
good
Woman
,
together
with
the
constant
prosecution
of
her
cause
,
as
they
lye
in
order
.
For
the
first
Repulse
,
the
Evangelist
sayes
,
that
He
answered
Her
not
a
word
.
What
?
not
vnfold
his
lips
,
to
giue
one
word
?
O
wonderfull
temptation
!
For
what
might
shee
thinke
?
Is
this
Hee
in
whom
all
the
Nations
of
the
earth
should
bee
blessed
?
Ho
,
Euery
one
that
thirsteth
,
come
yee
to
the
Waters
?
Is
this
He
,
that
will
heare
his
seruants
while
they
speake
,
and
answere
before
they
call
?
No
,
no
;
I
see
my
labour
is
lost
,
my
hopes
degraded
,
and
my
thoughts
frustrate
.
I
haue
look't
vp
to
the
Sunne
,
and
can
see
no
light
:
I
haue
hied
me
to
the
Fountaine
,
and
can
finde
no
water
:
I
haue
runne
,
and
cried
after
the
GOD
of
All
comfort
,
and
He
disdaines
to
speake
the
least
word
to
me
.
Ah
,
my
deere
Childe
,
my
heart
melts
like
Wax
in
the
midst
of
my
bowels
,
to
thinke
of
thee
.
Thou
art
(
alas
what
say
I
?
where
am
I
?
)
thou
art
(
poore
wretch
)
possessed
of
a
Dieull
,
and
there
was
hope
;
but
now
what
shall
I
doe
,
when
the
Lord
of
Life
shuts
his
eare
to
my
complaint
,
and
roundly
answeres
me
in
not
answering
me
.
Thus
she
might
haue
debated
the
case
,
but
she
did
not
.
For
though
Christ
was
silent
;
yet
in
truth
,
He
gaue
her
a
double
answere
:
the
one
by
the
generall
promises
of
his
word
;
the
other
,
by
the
secret
whisperings
of
his
Spirit
.
Hee
mindes
her
well
enough
,
but
Hee
makes
as
though
Hee
heard
not
,
that
the
precious
graces
lock't
vp
in
the
Cabinet
of
her
heart
,
might
bee
brought
forth
to
light
.
Besides
,
her
cries
were
Musicall
;
so
hee
is
loth
to
haue
them
broke
off
.
And
more
:
this
Delay
bred
no
danger
,
but
wher
on
her
affection
,
and
made
the
gift
more
welcome
at
the
receipt
;
for
(
vsually
)
what
is
hardly
got
,
is
greatly
set
by
.
It
is
euen
so
:
the
childe
of
GOD
prayes
sometimes
on
his
Knees
,
sometimes
on
his
Face
,
and
that
with
sighes
that
cannot
be
expressed
;
and
yet
GOD
seemes
not
to
regard
,
but
rather
to
be
angry
at
his
prayer
.
O
Lord
(
saith
the
Church
in
her
affliction
)
how
long
wilt
thou
bee
angry
against
the
prayer
of
thy
people
.
O
my
God
(
saith
Dauid
)
I
cry
in
the
day
time
and
thou
hearest
not
,
and
in
the
night
season
I
take
no
rest
.
Thou
hast
couered
thy selfe
with
a
cloud
,
saith
the
desolate
Ierusalem
,
that
our
prayer
should
not
passe
through
.
What
then
?
Is
the
Lords
hand
shortned
that
it
cannot
saue
?
Or
his
eare
heauy
,
that
it
cannot
heare
?
No
,
But
our
Iniquities
do
separate
betweene
vs
and
our
GOD
,
and
our
sinnes
hide
his
face
from
vs
,
that
hee
will
not
heare
.
Sometimes
we
aske
we
know
not
what
,
with
the
sonnes
of
Zebedee
.
doubting
,
and
wauering
.
amisse
,
that
wee
might
consume
it
on
our
lusts
.
rouing
,
and
ranging
thoughts
,
and
so
no
maruell
if
wee
receiue
not
.
Quomodo
te
audiri
à
Deo
postulas
,
cûm
te
ipse
non
audias
,
saith
Cyprian
.
Cypr.
de
Orat.
Dom.
How
dar'st
thou
desire
that
GOD
should
heare
thee
,
when
thou
hearest
not
thy selfe
?
Thou
wakest
with
thine
eyes
,
and
sleepest
with
thine
Heart
:
where
a
Christian
should
wake
with
his
Heart
,
when
he
sleepeth
with
his
Eyes
.
But
let
vs
step
on
to
the
second
Discouragement
.
Then
came
to
Him
his
Disciples
,
and
besought
him
saying
,
send
her
away
,
for
shee
cryeth
after
vs
.
Where
the
Disciples
do
not
entreate
Him
to
pittie
her
,
but
onely
to
dispatch
her
,
one
way
or
other
,
because
she
kept
such
a
bawling
.
Which
dealing
of
theirs
,
discouers
their
Curiosity
:
for
they
will
needes
(
for
sooth
)
teach
their
Maister
what
to
do
;
as
though
Hee
leard
not
as
well
as
they
,
and
would
not
haue
dismist
her
,
had
hee
thought
it
conuenient
.
Thus
tampers
Peter
,
in
a
matter
of
Life
and
Death
(
and
that
Eternall
and
Vniuersall
)
New
Testament
,
assigned
to
high
,
and
heauenly
Functions
:
Mathew
to
bee
an
Euangelist
,
Peter
an
Apostle
,
Saint
Iohn
an
Euangelist
,
an
Apostle
,
and
a
Prophet
:
an
Euangelist
in
his
Gospell
,
an
Apostle
in
his
Epistles
,
a
Prophet
in
his
Reuelation
.
Then
who
should
be
good
,
if
they
were
euill
?
who
tender-hearted
,
if
they
were
vnmercifull
?
Yet
such
small
compassion
harbour'd
they
in
their
bosomes
,
that
(
so
she
would
leaue
her
clamouring
)
whether
shee
sped
or
no
,
they
car'd
not
greatly
.
Which
makes
me
wonder
,
that
the
Romanists
should
bee
so
chub-headed
,
as
to
proue
from
hence
the
Invocation
of
dead
Saints
.
For
first
,
this
Woman
desires
none
of
them
to
speake
for
her
.
Secondly
,
they
complaine
,
they
make
not
intercession
.
Thirdly
,
she
is
neuer
the
neerer
for
their
request
.
Fourthly
,
suppose
she
had
far'd
the
better
,
yet
I
hope
there
is
great
difference
,
between
praying
to
the
liuing
,
and
to
the
dead
.
Me
thinks
they
should
be
ashamed
,
thus
foully
to
wrest
this
Example
;
but
who
would
looke
for
water
from
a
Pumice-stone
,
or
vertues
blush
in
an
Italianated
cheeke
?
Are
these
the
men
so
renowned
for
Artes
,
Tongues
,
Reading
?
Are
these
the
Kil-Cowes
of
the
world
,
for
learning
?
Are
these
the
best
Schollers
of
their
Seuen-headed
Parnassus
?
Come
,
come
,
the
Iesuits
,
(
the
Popes
Roaring
Boyes
)
know
well
enough
we
haue
got
the
start
of
them
,
and
therefore
they
make
now
no
Syllogismes
,
but
in
FERIO
.
Yet
some
of
our
Gentlemen
,
that
haue
made
a
steppe
beyond
the
Alpes
,
looke
as
bigge
as
Bull-beefe
,
if
we
offer
to
compare
with
them
:
and
tell
vs
with
a
shrugge
,
that
They
haue
Scripture
,
Councels
,
and
the
Fathers
on
their
side
.
But
when
wee
come
to
the
battell
,
they
tell
vs
from
Cardinall
Bellarmine
,
that
Scripture
is
not
a
Rule
,
but
a
Commonitorie
:
That
it
is
not
sufficient
;
That
it
is
not
necessarie
.
Come
to
Councels
,
we
are
willing
to
be
iudg'd
by
the
most
sacred
Councell
of
Ierusalem
,
and
(
in
all
poynts
of
Faith
)
by
the
Ancient
Generall
Councels
of
Nice
,
Constantinople
,
Ephesus
,
Chalcedonia
.
They
make
shew
of
no
great
dislike
,
but
at
last
they
bring
vs
to
the
Councell
held
at
Rome
,
vnder
Iohn
the
Three
and
twentith
,
where
the
Owle
sate
President
on
the
Beame
:
or
to
the
Councell
of
Constance
,
where
they
burnt
the
Diuell
in
Iohn
Husses
Mitre
:
or
to
their
deare
deare
Councell
of
Trent
;
where
the
Pope
(
against
all
conscience
)
was
both
Partie
,
and
Iudge
.
Descend
we
to
the
Fathers
,
they
bring
forth
marching
in
single
file
,
Origen
,
Cyprian
,
Athanasius
,
Ambrose
,
Austen
,
Ierome
,
Chrysostome
,
and
the
rest
:
and
would
make
vs
beleeue
they
came
Voluntaries
,
when
in
truth
they
prest
them
into
the
field
.
Where
,
when
they
bid
,
CHARGE
;
they
giue
them
two
blowes
for
our
one
;
and
S.
Augustine
(
that
carries
the
garland
from
them
all
)
ioynes
cheerefully
with
vs
,
and
(
with
speare
in
wrest
)
makes
lanes
amongst
them
.
Which
they
perceiuing
,
determine
the
next
time
to
be
euen
with
vs
,
and
to
bring
forth
old
Doctors
indeed
,
that
will
stand
to
them
backe
,
and
edge
;
namely
,
my
Neam
Clement
,
and
my
Neam
Abdy
,
and
my
Neam
Martiall
,
and
my
Neam
Hyppolite
,
and
my
Neam
Amphiloch
,
and
other
such
Buttoncap't
Fathers
,
as
were
neuer
yet
,
in
Rerum
Natura
.
Thus
haue
I
(
Beloued
)
vpon
occasion
of
this
simple
proofe
,
(
like
to
which
for
all
the
world
,
bee
the
rest
of
their
Arguments
)
giuen
you
a
sight
of
the
flourishes
of
the
Catholickes
,
(
or
rather
Catholicons
)
which
if
it
haue
beene
a
Digression
,
I
hope
it
hath
beene
no
Transgression
.
Come
we
now
to
the
Third
Repulse
,
expressed
in
this
Answere
of
our
Sauiour
:
I
am
not
sent
but
to
the
lost
Sheepe
of
the
house
of
Israel
.
Where
He
renders
a
reason
to
his
Disciples
(
within
the
Womans
hearing
)
why
Hee
cannot
condiscend
to
her
importunate
request
,
to
wit
,
because
it
came
not
within
the
compasse
of
his
Commission
.
For
his
Father
had
sent
him
,
though
not
onely
,
yet
chiefly
to
the
Iewes
,
of
which
number
she
was
none
(
but
a
Gentile
)
and
the
Partition-wall
was
not
yet
broken
downe
;
so
hee
would
haue
her
set
her
heart
at
rest
,
and
trouble
him
no
further
,
since
her
suite
was
vnreasonable
,
if
not
vnreasonable
.
Oh
Lord
;
this
was
enough
to
haue
split
her
heart
in
peeces
.
What
?
Hee
in
whom
all
health
was
promised
,
who
offred
himselfe
to
all
others
,
healing
all
diseases
,
Now
where
Christ
affirmes
,
that
He
is
sent
to
the
lost
Sheepe
,
it
is
manifest
that
he
is
a
Shepheard
,
and
that
Shepheard
too
,
of
whom
the
Lord
speaketh
,
when
he
saith
,
Dauid
,
shall
feed
them
,
and
He
shall
be
their
Shephard
.
The
same
is
he
that
is
called
The
chiefe
Shepheard
,
and
the
Great
Shepheard
of
the
sheepe
,
to
whom
all
other
are
but
Vnder-shepheards
,
subiect
to
his
power
,
and
set
ouer
their
charges
by
his
speciall
appoyntment
.
And
as
He
is
the
Great
,
so
is
He
the
Good
Shepheard
:
Operatiue
.
;
for
all
things
are
naked
,
and
open
vnto
his
eyes
:
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
as
naked
&
as
open
as
the
sheep
that
hangs
vpon
the
Cambrel
,
with
the
skin
off
,
&
the
Inwards
our
,
that
you
may
looke
on
both
sides
at
your
pleasure
;
for
so
much
the
word
imports
.
Ye
Shepheards
of
England
,
learne
of
this
Great
Good
Shepheard
;
to
tend
and
tender
your
flocke
.
Si
mundum
praedic●s
contemnendum
,
contemne
tu

;
If
thou
beat
vpon
the
contempt
of
the
world
to
others
,
see
first
that
thou
contemne
it
thy selfe
.
And
pray
for
grace
,
that
you
may
venter
limme
,
and
life
for
your
flockes
.

then

Here
giue
mee
leaue
to
complaine
a
little
.
There
are
some
that
are
yong
,
and
cannot
yet
preach
:
others
are
old
,
and
must
rest
themselues
:
others
are
timorous
,
and
greatly
like
not
standing
out
for
their
sheepe
.
Are
you
yong
and
cannot
preach
?
Nay
therefore
you
should
preach
;
for
your
bodie
is
strong
,
your
spirits
quicke
,
your
Wit
fresh
,
your
Memory
stedfast
,
your
Nature
bold
,
and
your
Voyce
tuneable
.
Are
you
old
,
&
wold
you
take
leaue
of
the
Pulpit
?
O
what
pitie
were
it
,
that
those
graue
Fathers
,
whose
Piety
,
Learning
,
Sanctimony
,
Age
,
hath
wonn
them
so
great
authority
,
should
exhort
the
People
no
more
.
For
as
Grapes
are
not
ripe
in
the
Spring
,
nor
in
Summer
,
but
in
Autumne
,
a
little
before
Winter
:
So
the
fruits
of
Learning
come
not
to
perfection
,
till
old
Age
(
the
Virger
of
Death
)
step
in
.
And
for
those
that
are
affraid
to
hazard
themselues
in
defence
of
their
Flocke
,
The
Wolues
of
Rome
(
sent
out
from
their
Lycaon
)
come
leering
ouer
into
the
Land
,
to
leap
at
the
throat
of
that
Princely
Sheep
,
who
is
worth
Ten
thousand
of
vs
;
Iliad.
a
&
alibi
.
who
is
also
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
our
Shepheard
:
and
shall
wee
bee
such
crauens
,
and
so
white
about
the
gyls
,
as
not
to
resist
them
?
O
how
true
is
it
of
the
Iesuites
,
which
Pius
Secundus
(
sometime
Aeneas
Syluius
)
spake
of
the
Monkes
of
his
time
:
Non
audet
Stigius
Pluto
tentare
,
quod
audet
Effraenis
Monachus
:
The
De'ele
of
Hell
dare
not
attempt
the
Ill
,
That
an
vnbrideled
Cloyster-creeper
will
.
Which
makes
me
not
endure
those
Newtrals
,
who
giue
out
,
that
Wee
,
and
the
Church
of
Rome
,
may
be
easily
reconciled
:
For
the
truth
is
,
there
is
such
an
Antipathie
betweene
a
Protestant
,
and
a
Papist
,
as
there
is
betweene
the
two
Bird●
in
Plutarch
,
Plutarch
.
Mor.
the
Siskin
,
and
the
Muskin
,
which
will
fight
earnestly
aliue
,
and
being
dead
,
if
you
mix
their
bloud
,
it
will
runne
apart
,
and
dissociate
it selfe
.
The
Shepheard
is
sent
to
none
but
Sheep
,
nay
to
none
but
Lost
Sheep
.
The
Sheep
is
an
innocent
,
and
harmelesse
creature
,
the
same
among
Beasts
,
that
the
Doue
is
among
Birds
:
So
the
Childe
of
GOD
must
bee
Meeke
,
and
Gentle
,
putting
away
all
Bitternesse
,
and
Anger
,
and
Wrath
,
and
Crying
.
But
the
Lost
Sheep
is
got
into
a
maze
of
Misery
:
This
Land
of
ours
(
through
the
goodnesse
of
GOD
)
is
talkt
of
farre
,
and
neere
for
the
Golden
Fleece
;
for
the
Marchant
knowes
,
it
is
a
Colchis
.
But
that
which
makes
it
thrice
more
famous
,
is
the
goodly
Flocke
of
Sheep
,
that
Christ
hath
in
it
:
the
fayrest
(
I
perswade
mee
)
vnder
heauen
;
Howsoeuer
the
fowle-mouth'd
Separatists
cals
vs
Goats
,
and
Swine
,
and
denie
vs
to
bee
Sheep
.
What
though
all
of
vs
carry
not
a
fine
Staple
on
our
backes
,
that
will
open
and
shut
like
a
pare
of
Bellowes
,
are
we
not
therefore
Sheep
?
What
though
some
of
vs
bee
Rough-coated
,
some
Water-wool'd
,
some
Totterd
,
some
Tackt
,
some
Lame
,
some
Flye-gal'd
,
some
Clouted
,
some
Swine-chapt
,
are
we
not
therefore
Sheep
?
What
if
we
be
stray'd
away
,
and
lost
,
are
we
not
therefore
Sheep
?
Yes
we
are
Sheep
,
though
lost
;
and
it
is
well
that
we
are
Lost
,
for
the
Son
of
Man
came
to
saue
that
which
was
Lost
.
Dauid
,
I
am
gone
astray
,
like
a
sheepe
that
is
lost
:
We
are
now
to
see
how
the
Syrophoenician
brookes
this
harsh
answere
;
Yet
she
came
and
worshipped
Him
,
saying
,
Lord
helpe
me
:
Where
againe
appeares
her
Faith
(
that
eminent
vertue
)
accompanied
with
feruent
Prayer
,
and
with
a
creeping
Humility
.
Her
Faith
is
discouered
,
in
that
she
continues
inuoking
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
will
not
out
,
though
Hee
had
declared
new
before
,
that
Hee
could
not
with
warrant
from
his
Calling
,
helpe
her
;
for
that
GODS
Mercy
,
was
(
for
a
season
)
confined
to
the
Iewes
.
Her
speech
is
this
in
effect
;
O
Lord
,
thou
hast
testified
,
that
whosoeuer
put
their
trust
in
Thee
,
shall
not
bee
confounded
,
and
that
whosoeuer
calleth
vpon
thy
Name
,
shall
be
saued
:
Since
I
then
(
miserable
wretch
)
embrace
these
promises
of
thine
by
Faith
,
it
is
impossible
that
thou
shouldst
deny
me
.
For
though
the
Heauen
should
wheele
out
of
his
place
,
and
the
Earth
slip
off
from
her
foundation
,
yet
Thy
Word
cannot
faile
.
Then
Lord
,
remember
me
,
and
all
my
trouble
;
pitie
the
case
of
a
poore
distressed
woman
,
and
let
her
teares
worke
thee
to
some
compassion
:
I
am
resolu'd
;
I
will
take
no
nay
;
I
am
thy
Beggar
,
and
will
haue
my
Dole
e're
I
goe
:
then
thrust
mee
not
backe
,
ô
bid
mee
not
farewell
,
for
as
the
Lord
liueth
,
and
as
thy
soule
liueth
,
I
will
not
leaue
thee
.
This
strong
,
and
inexpugnable
Faith
,
sends
Prayer
to
put
the
hand
in
the
treasure
of
blessings
.
O
Prayer
(
the
most
excellent
fruit
of
Faith
)
how
powerfull
art
thou
with
GOD
?
At
Fiue
sundry
Petitions
,
brought
the
Lord
from
Fiftie
to
Ten
;
as
long
as
hee
prayed
,
hee
was
answered
:
And
most
comfortable
it
is
to
consider
,
that
the
Lord
ceased
not
from
giuing
,
till
Abraham
ceased
from
asking
.
Againe
,
and
againe
,
she
cals
on
Christ
,
in
whom
onely
she
beleeues
,
and
on
whom
onely
shee
depends
for
succour
.
Thus
Dauid
,
sweetly
;
Lord
whom
haue
I
in
Heauen
but
thee
;
and
there
is
none
in
earth
,
that
I
desire
beside
thee
?
Yet
the
Catholickes
at
Loretto
,
are
alwaies
crouching
to
the
Virgin
Mary
:
But
what
sayes
Bernard
?
Libenter
certè
gloriosa
Virgo
tali
honore
carebit
;
The
glorious
Virgin
is
willingly
content
to
want
such
honour
.
But
what
talke
I
of
Loretto
?
I
would
our
Ladies
(
some
of
them
)
heere
at
home
,
were
not
so
cunning
in
their
Ladies
Psalter
.
O
Lady
rebuke
mee
not
in
thine
anger
,
neither
chasten
me
in
thy
displeasure
;
haue
mercy
vpon
mee
,
ô
Lady
,
for
I
am
weake
,
ô
Lady
help
me
,
for
my
bones
are
vexed
.
Whose
heart
doth
not
quake
,
whose
haire
doth
not
stand
vpright
,
to
thinke
that
the
glorious
and
fearefull
Name
of
IEHOVAH
,
Booke
of
Psalmes
,
and
the
title
of
Lady
put
in
,
contrary
to
the
expresse
charge
of
GOD
,
and
that
vnder
the
paine
of
most
heauy
curses
?
I
haue
often
wondred
(
and
that
with
indignation
)
that
the
Popes
Creatures
should
be
so
infatuated
,
as
to
leaue
CHRIST
IESVS
,
the
Fountaine
of
liuing
Waters
,
and
to
digge
them
Pits
,
euen
broken
Pits
,
that
can
hold
no
water
:
Saying
to
a
Tree
thou
art
my
Father
,
and
to
a
Stone
thou
hast
begotten
me
:
the
Scripture
euery
where
condemning
it
,
as
cleerely
,
as
if
it
were
written
with
the
brightest
Sunne-beame
on
a
wall
of
Glasse
,
as
Lactantius
speaketh
.
And
I
could
neuer
bee
quieted
in
my
mind
,
when
I
saw
them
thus
obstinate
,
till
GODS
Prouidence
directed
mee
to
the
hundred
and
fifteene
Psalme
,
the
eight
verse
,
They
that
make
them
,
are
like
vnto
them
,
and
so
are
all
they
that
put
their
trust
in
them
:
For
euer
since
,
I
thus
reason
with
my selfe
.
If
I
shall
come
to
an
image
of
Wood
,
or
Stone
,
or
Mettall
,
and
shall
call
,
and
shout
,
Ho
,
Image
!
are
you
asleepe
?
What
Image
,
Image
!
canst
thou
not
heare
?
Art
thou
deafe
?
The
Image
is
neuer
a
whit
the
wiser
,
though
I
should
burst
my
lunges
with
crying
,
because
though
it
looke
like
a
Man
,
and
haue
Eares
,
yet
they
are
but
Eares
by
Equivocation
.
And
euen
so
,
if
I
shall
striue
to
conuince
a
Papist
,
with
neuer
such
fulnesse
of
Voyce
,
and
forciblenesse
of
Argument
,
it
is
to
no
more
purpose
,
then
the
blowing
of
a
Trumpet
in
the
eares
of
Baal
,
or
making
a
set
speech
to
a
Painted
Post
.
The
next
companion
of
her
Faith
,
is
Humilty
:
for
she
bowes
downe
her
body
,
and
fals
at
his
feet
,
as
if
by
her
gesture
she
confest
her selfe
to
be
a
miserable
sinner
,
and
had
no
refuge
but
in
Humility
.
A
vertue
,
that
like
the
Violet
,
is
poore
in
shew
,
growes
low
by
the
ground
,
and
hangs
the
head
,
as
willing
to
liue
vnseene
:
Yet
is
it
euer
in
the
way
of
preferment
,
as
we
finde
in
Ioseph
,
Moses
,
Mordecai
.
An
embleme
whereof
we
cannot
but
remember
;
For
wee
see
that
the
little
Grasse-hopper
(
the
silliest
of
creatures
)
is
yet
aduanced
in
the
principall
Citie
,
and
in
a
principall
Street
of
that
Citie
,
and
in
a
principall
building
of
that
Street
,
and
in
a
principall
place
of
that
Building
,
as
a
golden
obiect
of
Magnificence
to
be
gazed
on
.
But
at
no
time
is
Humility
more
requisite
,
then
in
Prayer
;
Aug.
De
Ciu.
Dei
.
Ipsum
extolli
,
iam
deijci
est
,
Pride
's
very
rise
,
is
her
very
downefall
.
But
aboue
all
things
,
let
vs
not
bee
proud
in
Prayer
,
with
the
Pharisee
.
Wall
,
Shall
the
Wall
stand
vp
,
and
say
,
It
is
I
that
send
forth
these
beames
,
saith
Bernard
?
but
Man
can
chalenge
nothing
as
his
Owne
,
but
Sinne
,
and
Frailty
.
But
let
vs
passe
on
to
the
last
Repulse
.
And
Hee
answered
,
and
said
,
It
is
not
good
to
take
the
Childrens
bread
,
and
to
cast
it
to
Dogges
.
Here
our
Sauiour
answeres
to
her
Lord
help
me
,
but
more
roughly
,
and
seuerely
,
then
euer
Hee
did
before
;
for
now
Hee
beginnes
to
chide
,
and
sneap
her
,
as
if
shee
were
an
vnmannerly
Puppie
.
The
purport
of
his
speech
is
this
.
Woman
,
I
pray
thee
hold
thy
tongue
,
and
shew
not
thy selfe
so
violent
,
and
vnreasonable
.
What
grace
soeuer
is
giuen
me
of
my
Father
to
bee
dispensed
,
is
to
be
exhibted
distinctly
to
the
Iewes
,
lest
they
bee
defrauded
of
their
proper
right
:
for
my
Father
is
the
Father
of
Abrahams
posterity
onely
.
Truth
it
is
that
the
very
Infidels
find
him
by
his
Prouidence
to
be
a
Father
;
but
Adoption
,
and
other
spirituall
benediction
is
to
be
conferred
peculiarly
on
the
Israelites
.
Now
verily
it
were
an
vnseemely
deed
,
to
take
the
priuiledges
of
children
,
and
to
cast
them
to
such
as
thee
,
who
being
without
GOD
in
the
world
,
art
to
bee
kenne'ld
vp
mongst
Dogges
.
Howbeit
,
if
thou
hadst
not
dealt
so
preposterously
,
much
might
haue
been
;
if
thou
hadst
staid
till
the
Children
had
dined
,
happily
thou
mightst
haue
light
vpon
some
fragments
:
but
to
snatch
of
the
dishes
in
the
midst
of
dinner
,
betokens
a
shamelesse
malapertnesse
,
and
a
presumptuous
rudenesse
.
See
heere
(
Beloued
)
what
we
Gentiles
were
before
we
knew
Christ
.
Let
it
not
offend
your
eares
,
wee
were
no
better
then
Curre-dogges
,
and
so
are
all
at
this
day
,
that
liue
,
and
die
,
without
Him
.
Husbandmen
,
Yeomen
,
Gentlemen
,
Noble
men
,
Learned
men
,
Valiant
men
,
all
Dogges
without
Christ
.
Now
what
more
ignominious
,
and
opprobrious
then
the
name
of
Dogge
?
Am
I
a
Dogges-head
,
Within
the
circuit
of
this
our
Church
are
found
certaine
Dogges
that
trouble
,
and
annoy
her
.
The
first
are
those
Pricke-ear'd
Curres
of
Rome
,
that
Barke
at
the
Moone
,
Nay
at
Him
that
made
the
Moone
;
to
whom
if
you
offer
the
Gospel
,
second
verse
.
Another
Dogge
(
who
is
like
to
leape
short
of
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
)
Phoenix
.
Another
Dogge
is
he
that
causelesly
railes
on
men
in
Authoritie
;
and
this
is
no
yelping
Beagle
,
no
little
Whippit
,
but
a
deepe-mouth'd
hound
,
or
baying
Mastiue
.
Thus
Shimei
bids
Dauid
,
Come
out
,
come
out
,
as
if
he
were
a
Dogge
,
when
Shimei
indeed
was
the
the
Dogge
,
as
the
sonne
of
Zeruiah
calls
him
.
Another
Dogge
is
the
licentious
liuer
,
who
vpon
some
touch
,
goes
softly
for
a
while
;
sicke
,
sicke
:
and
then
,
if
GOD
will
repriue
him
,
vntill
a
longer
day
,
oh
what
a
Christian
course
he
vowes
to
take
!
GOD
proues
him
;
he
mends
:
In
body
?
yes
:
in
manners
?
no
;
no
more
the
Pharaoh
after
then
plagues
remoouall
.
Another
Dogge
we
finde
in
the
Prophet
Esay
,
and
this
is
the
Dumb
Dogge
.
Dumb
?
Hem
Dromo
?
Dromo
!
come
hither
!
to
the
beame
with
him
.
What
?
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
keeper
of
the
house
,
and
not
giue
warning
of
the
Theefe
?
This
Dogge
is
the
vnconscionable
Minister
,
that
opens
not
his
mouth
for
the
safegard
of
his
people
;
who
knowes
not
the
very
first
words
of
the
Accidence
;
for
were
he
but
acquainted
with
IN
SPEECH
,
it
were
iniustice
to
charge
him
with
dumbnesse
.
A
very
vnprofitable
member
.
For
there
are
Three
things
,
which
if
they
want
tongues
,
are
good
for
nothing
;
a
Minister
,
a
Dogge
,
and
a
Iewes-Trumpe
.
It
remaineth
now
,
that
we
consider
how
this
Woman
digests
this
vngentle
answere
of
Christ
.
And
she
said
,
Truth
Lord
;
yet
the
Dogges
eate
of
the
crumbes
that
fall
from
their
Masters
Table
.
In
moe
words
,
thus
:
Lord
,
I
am
a
Dogge
,
I
willingly
confesse
it
;
nay
more
,
I
confirme
it
;
and
with
all
my
heart
I
acknowledge
the
Iewes
to
be
thy
children
,
fed
at
thine
owne
Table
,
with
variety
of
Heauenly
Dishes
.
Neither
do
I
enuy
them
.
Let
me
(
poore
soule
)
but
gather
vp
the
scrappes
that
fall
from
their
Table
at
all
aduenture
,
I
craue
no
more
.
No
man
in
the
world
could
deuise
a
fitter
ananswer
;
for
the
grace
of
God
was
neuer
dam'd
vp
so
strictly
from
the
Gentiles
,
but
that
some
droppes
ouer-flowed
to
them
,
as
may
be
seene
in
Rahab
,
Ruth
,
Naaman
,
the
Niniuites
.
And
here
againe
the
vnfatigablenesse
of
her
Faith
presents
it selfe
to
our
view
.
She
followes
and
cries
,
and
cries
and
followes
,
but
what
?
The
Solicited
is
silent
,
the
Disciples
grumble
,
she
is
not
of
the
Fold
,
she
is
a
Dogge
.
Who
is
a
Dogge
?
A
deuout
and
sanctified
Woman
.
And
who
calls
her
Dogge
?
Christ
;
the
Sanctuary
of
Soules
.
It
's
nothing
to
swim
in
a
warme
bath
;
but
to
endure
the
Surges
,
and
tumbling
billows
of
the
Sea
,
that
's
the
man
.
To
beleeue
that
GOD
is
thy
GOD
,
and
loues
thee
as
the
Apple
of
his
eye
,
when
he
calls
thee
Dogge
,
and
grindes
thee
to
powder
,
that
's
the
Faith
.
To
end
this
second
part
:
this
Woman
suckes
hony
out
of
gall
,
and
like
a
good
Logician
presses
him
with
this
Syllogisme
:
The
Dog
is
to
haue
the
crums
of
his
Masters
Table
:
I
am
the
Iewes
Dogge
,
Therefore
.
I
am
to
haue
the
crummes
of
their
table
.
The
Maior
is
taken
from
the
law
of
Nature
,
the
Minor
from
thine
owne
words
:
what
sayst
thou
,
Lord
?
answere
me
:
dost
thou
deny
,
or
distinguish
?
Neither
.
He
did
not
answer
the
Argument
;
nay
,
(
with
reuerence
be
it
spoken
)
he
could
not
answere
it
:
for
then
he
should
haue
denied
mercy
to
the
Penitent
,
and
so
contradicted
himselfe
,
which
had
been
an
Impotencie
.
This
of
the
EPITASIS
.
The
Catastrophe
is
contained
in
the
last
words
of
the
Text
,
Then
Iesus
answered
and
said
vnto
her
,
O
woman
!
great
is
thy
faith
;
bee
it
vnto
thee
euen
as
thou
wilt
.
Where
our
Sauiour
first
commends
this
Woman
,
and
that
with
an
admiration
;
O
woman
!
neuer
in
my
life
met
I
with
such
an
Heathen
;
thou
passest
of
all
that
euer
I
knew
;
verily
I
haue
not
found
such
Faith
in
Israel
.
Thou
art
able
by
thy
knocking
,
and
importunitie
to
make
one
rise
out
of
his
bed
,
from
his
children
at
midnight
,
to
lend
thee
three
loaues
.
O
the
bountifulnesse
of
GOD
!
when
we
haue
done
all
we
can
,
Masters
Talents
,
But
for
what
extols
hee
this
Woman
thus
?
For
her
Faith
.
What
Faith
?
That
which
Iustified
her
before
GOD
.
But
here
's
onely
a
sute
for
a
temporall
benefit
,
what
though
?
That
nothing
lets
,
but
that
by
the
same
Faith
that
laid
hold
on
saluation
,
shee
beleeued
also
the
recouery
of
her
daughter
;
Iustifying
faith
,
was
perswaded
of
a
Sonne
in
his
old
age
.
The
whole
tenor
of
the
History
imports
thus
much
,
whether
you
consider
the
Obiect
of
her
Faith
,
or
the
Temper
of
it
,
or
the
Strength
,
or
Effects
;
among
which
the
last
is
most
plaine
for
this
purpose
:
for
it
shewes
that
by
this
Faith
,
she
might
obtaine
whatsoeuer
shee
would
;
now
who
doubts
,
but
she
would
haue
the
forgiuenesse
of
her
sinnes
,
without
the
which
shee
were
more
then
most
miserable
.
The
next
way
then
to
be
honoured
of
GOD
,
is
to
honour
GOD
;
Faith
,
Enoch
for
his
Faith
,
Noah
for
his
Faith
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
and
Iacob
for
their
Faith
,
Moses
(
the
Law
giuer
)
for
his
Faith
;
Rahab
,
Gedeon
,
Barac
,
Sampson
,
Iephta
,
Dauid
,
Samuel
for
their
Faith
;
If
here
it
be
spitefully
obiected
,
that
we
prate
so
much
of
Faith
,
that
we
haue
pack't
Good-Workes
out
of
the
Countrey
;
be
it
answered
,
that
this
is
nothing
but
Wood
sere
,
or
Cuckow-spit
,
the
froth
of
rage
,
with
a
worme
in
the
midst
of
it
.
For
wee
doubt
not
to
affirme
,
with
Luther
,
The
fruit
,
and
profit
of
one
onely
worke
,
which
a
Christian
doth
in
faith
,
and
through
faith
,
is
to
bee
esteemed
more
pretious
then
Heauen
and
Earth
.
Onely
we
exclude
Good
workes
from
our
Iustification
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
law
,
because
therein
nothing
doth
,
nor
can
concurre
with
the
Merit
of
Christ
.
And
this
is
the
very
Argument
of
that
excellent
Epistle
to
the
Galatians
,
De
Ius●if
.
lib.
1.
In
regard
of
the
vncertainty
of
a
Mans
owne
righteousnesse
,
and
for
feare
of
vaine-glory
,
it
is
the
safest
way
to
repose
our
whole
confidence
in
the
ONELY
mercy
,
and
goodnesse
of
GOD
.
Now
where
we
are
charg'd
,
that
the
beating
vpon
the
poynt
of
Faith
,
hath
banished
Good-workes
;
we
auouch
it
to
be
the
speciall
way
both
to
breed
and
cherish
them
.
In
this
present
Text
is
a
Cluster
of
Good-workes
,
farre
more
pleasant
to
behold
,
Good
deeds
?
Faith
.
For
,
can
the
Fruit
be
good
,
till
the
Tree
be
good
?
Can
the
Tree
bee
good
,
till
the
Sap
bee
good
?
Is
not
Man
a
Tree
with
the
root
vpward
?
Is
it
not
Reason
that
makes
a
Man
,
Faith
that
makes
a
Christian
?
Is
not
this
Paules
method
in
all
his
Epistles
?
Spends
he
not
Eleuen
Chapters
in
that
to
the
Romans
,
in
laying
the
foundation
of
Faith
,
before
he
build
on
it
with
exhortation
to
good
life
,
which
he
performs
but
in
fiue
chapters
?
I
le
tel
thee
,
proud
man
,
thou
that
swellest
now
in
the
confidence
of
thy
works
;
when
sorrow
comes
,
and
the
Law
strikes
vp
a
fearefull
Alarum
against
thee
,
thou
shalt
be
ready
to
peake
aside
,
&
to
spy
out
some
bauke
in
an
Out-house
,
whereon
to
dispatch
thy selfe
.
iustified
by
Faith
,
wee
haue
peace
with
God
;
the
Accent
is
vpon
Faith
,
vpon
Christ
,
without
which
,
without
whom
alone
,
we
shall
neuer
haue
peace
of
conscience
:
but
when
it
is
Morning
,
we
shal
wish
it
were
Euening
;
This
Orient
Pearle
,
this
Womans
Faith
,
is
further
magnified
by
the
Greatnesse

For
a
little
house
(
though
curious
in
the
Frame
)
may
bee
counted
Pretty
,
neuer
Sumptuous

Now
this
Greatnesse
of
Faith
,
implies
Degrees
:
For
some
are
strong

this

It

Cyprian
saith
)
it
makes
one
sigh
at
a
Feast
,
and
at
Night
when
he
sinkes
into
his
downe-bed
,
Vigilat
in
Pluma
,
he
lies
broad
waken
.
These
Three
wish
I
not
for
You
,
and
Mee
,
for
they
cannot
last
,
nor
secure
the
conscience
,
nor
satisfie
the
vnlimited
desire
of
the
soule
:
But
One
Thing
haue
I
desisired
of
the
Lord
,
which
I
will
still
require
,
and
that
is
,
The
fruition
of
the
Comforts
that
are
in
CHRIST
.
This
was
the
Happinesse
St.
Paul
aspir'd
to
,
in
the
third
to
the
Philippians
,
the
7
and
8
verses
:
Heauenly
Letters

)
I
haue
counted
(
saith
he
)
All
Things
losse
fpr
Christ
.
Quae
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
;
which
All
things
?
That
I
was
not
an
Infidell
:
but
Circumcised
;
and
that
not
when
I
was
a
Stripling
,
a
Man
,
an
old
Man
,
as
were
the
Proselytes
,
but
the
Eighth
Day
,
according
to
the
prescript
of
the
Law
;
That
I
was
not
of
an
ordinary
Tribe
,
but
of
BENIAMIN
,
whence
sprang
the
first
King
,
and
which
claue
to
IVDAH
,
when
the
Ten
Tribes
fell
away
:
That
I
was
not
lately
descended
from
the
Hebrewes
,
but
very
anciently
from
the
Loynes
of
Iacob
:
That
I
was
not
of
a
meane
Place
,
but
a
Pharisee
,
the
most
famous
of
Sects
,
for
the
opinion
of
Sanctimony
and
Learning
;
That
I
was
not
Cold
,
or
Luke-warme
,
in
my
Profession
,
but
Walloping
,
and
Running
ouer
with
heate
of
Zeale
,
euen
to
the
persecution
of
the
Church
:
That
I
was
not
of
a
spotted
or
indifferent
Carriage
,
but
of
a
cleare
and
vnsuspected
life
:
All
these
,
these
All
,
and
All
things
else
(
except
my
Knowledge
and
Faith
in
CHRIST
)
as
the
Priuiledge
of
mine
Apostleship
,
my
inward
Vertues
,
and
workes
of
Grace
,
Haue
I
counted
lost
for
CHRIST
.
Yea
Paul
,
you
Haue
,
but
DOE
you
Now
?
Is
not
your
mind
altered
?
Yea
doubtlesse
(
I
know
what
I
say
)
I
DOE
count
All
things
losse
,
and
more
then
that
,
I
Haue
suffered
the
losse
of
All
things
,
and
haue
throwne
them
Ouer
board
,
as
Wares
into
the
Sea
,
to
lighten
my selfe
of
Them
.
Yea
,
but
do
you
not
now
repent
,
as
Marriners
are
wont
in
the
like
case
,
when
they
come
to
Shore
?
Not
I
,
not
a
whit
;
Farewell
they
;
I
am
glad
I
am
rid
of
Them
:
For
what
are
they
,
but
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
;
but
Drosse
,
but
Rubbish
,
but
Offall
,
but
Refuse
,
but
Garbage
,
but
DYNG
,
in
respect
of
CHRIST
.
Then
more
,
and
more
,
do
I
find
and
perceiue
,
that
All
things
to
CHRIST
are
but
vaine
,
and
irksome
:
and
that
without
Him
,
the
most
Iushious
pleasures
,
and
clyming
preferments
,
are
but
weeping
Ioyes
,
and
noble
Miseries
.
O
how
Honourable
is
Hee
,
Wonderfull
,
Counceller
,
the
Mightie
GOD
,
the
Euerlasting
Father
,
the
Prince
of
Peace
.
O
how
Victorious
is
Hee
,
and
with
what
a
grace
doth
Hee
triumph
!
Who
is
this
that
comes
from
Edom
,
with
Red
Garments
from
Bozrah
?
O
how
Rich
is
Hee
,
Morning
Starre
,
and
that
not
clouded
,
but
bright
,
and
resplendent
.
O
how
sweet
is
Hee
,
and
how
all
his
Garments
smell
of
Mirrh
,
Aloes
,
and
Cassia
;
His
name
is
as
an
Oyntment
powred
out
,
therefore
the
Virgines
loue
Him
.
White
,
and
Ruddie
,
the
chiefest
of
ten
thousand
;
His
Head
is
as
fine
Gold
,
his
Lockes
are
curled
,
and
blacke
as
a
Rauen.
O
how
louing
is
He
,
left
hand
is
vnder
his
Spouses
head
,
and
his
Right
hand
doth
embrace
her
.
O
,
he
hath
lou'd
vs
,
(
as
Bernard
noteth
)
Sweetly
,
Wisely
,
Strongly
:
Sweetly
,
for
Hee
tooke
vpon
Him
our
Nature
:
Wisely
,
for
Hee
tooke
not
on
Him
the
corruption
of
our
Nature
:
Strongly
,
for
Hee
gaue
vp
His
Life
for
our
sakes
.
That
thou
wert
as
my
Brother
,
that
suckt
the
breasts
of
my
Mother
,
that
I
might
finde
thee
,
and
kisse
thee
.
Set
me
as
a
Seale
on
thine
heart
,
and
as
a
Sgnet
vpon
thine
Arme.
Stay
mee
with
Flaggons
,
and
comfort
me
with
Apples
,
for
I
am
sicke
of
loue
.
Let
me
borrow
the
words
of
Ignatius
;
Holy
Ghost
,
bee
all
Honour
,
and
Glory

Now
and
Euer

Amen
